Chapter 2390 - Difference (5) (1/2)
Dyon knew well that Emytheus' abilities weren't so simple as copying his ancestors. Or rather, he had been prepared for this to be the case.
Emytheus used these abilities too freely and without reserve. To now, he had already tapped into the strength of all 12 Olympus Clan Gods with the exception of Artemis. And, maybe the only reason he hadn't was very likely because Artemis' abilities were probably related to beast taming.
Creation. It was a concept that ironically introduced Dyon to concepts. His first true interaction with it was within the Golden Flame Mystical World where he found a book of Creation kept by Orcus during the second phase.
Back then, he had given the book to Madeleine since she relied on some abilities of the concept Creation in order to compose the pieces she used in her music. The deeper her comprehension of creation, the better her music would become, and thus the greater her battle prowess would be.
However, this was only the short of it. During his time in the Golden Flame Mystical World, Dyon had also concluded that his flames didn't have many Characteristics, but rather each had only one… That of creation. Knowing this, Dyon had unlocked many abilities of his chaos and purity flames over the years.
So, hearing Emytheus' words, he immediately understood why it was that Emytheus could use the abilities of his Ancestors. It wasn't that he was born with them… But rathe that he could manifest them at will. He could create them from thin air.
But this only made Dyon's intent blaze fiercer because he realized that Emytheus had just made a very foolish mistake.
He could have never imagined that his singular ċȯċky line had revealed so much to Dyon. Or maybe, he simply didn't know how deep Dyon's comprehension of Creation already was.
Knowing that Emytheus' true ability, Dyon could also see through his limitations with ease. It was very likely that Emytheus' 12 Ancestor abilities weren't as strong as they were when his Ancestors wielded them. He could also see that Emytheus very obviously needed a reference for his Creations, or else he wouldn't have been limiting himself to his 12 Ancestors all this time either.
Maybe if Emytheus was like Dyon, Dyon wouldn't be sneering at this realization.
For a person like Dyon, it simply didn't matter to him whether his enemy knew his true abilities or not. However, for Emytheus, things were different.
With how arrogant Emytheus had been from the start… Wasn't he trying just a little too hard? If he was so confident in his own strength, why did he go through all the trouble of using Kaori to round up the Overlords? Obviously it was so that Dyon's strength would fall at a faster rate.
The more Dyon impacted this timeline by killing its most powerful experts, the harder the Heavens would fight back against him, and thus the more his strength would plummet.
Did this sound like something an overly confident person would do?
